We’ve got a couple great ones from us to get this list started:

“Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.” – The Princess Bride

“I meant what I said and I said what I meant. An elephant’s faithful one-hundred percent!”- Horton Hears A Who

All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. -The Fellowship of the Ring, JRR Tolkien

“I was quiet, but I was not blind.” – Mansfield Park, Jane Austen

“Beware of fainting-fits… One fatal swoon has cost me my life… Beware of swoons, dear Laura… a frenzy fit is not one quarter so pernicious; it is an exercise to the body and if not too violent, is, I dare say, conducive to health in its consequences — Run mad as often as you choose; but do not faint.” –Love and Friendship, Jane Austen

“I actually aspired to cowardice, because the alternative, the real reason I was running, was that Assef was right: Nothing was free in this world. Maybe Hassan was the price I had to pay, the lamb I had to slay, to win Baba.” –The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseni 

“Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement,  It is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don’t blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being “in love”, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has , and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.” – Captain Corelli’s Mandolin
